RESUMO
Rehabilitation of various maxillofacial defects is a time-consuming, complex, and overwhelming task requiring a patient-specific design and technique. Human face disfigurement involving loss of an eye enhances physical and emotional challenges. A wide range of various treatment modalities are being practiced over the period of time, with the recent one being use of ocular implants. Undoubtedly, an implant-supported orbital prosthesis has a superior outcome; it may not be as practical option considering the cost and availability, especially in economically constrained patients. The present case report describes a simplified technique for fabrication of an adhesive-retained silicone orbital prosthesis.
RESUMO
Traumatic finger digit amputation may affect patient's psychology also along with a serious injury to the affected hand. Recently, advanced micro-surgical re-implantation can help save a damaged human finger that is badly injured and/or amputated. Considering its associated financial burden, a vast majority of such patients cannot afford it. For such patients, a hand/finger prosthesis may act as a blessing, boosting social performance. In the present case report, an innovative type of prosthesis finger replacement method is discussed.
